Multiple aspects of the game have been improved to create a real sense of progression in the campaign mode, and a work-in-progress ending has been implemented together with an accessible endgame location.
Update:
- Outposts: The crew is now able to physically reach and explore outposts at the start and endpoint of a mission. AI inhabitants and randomised events keep the outposts alive. Players can trade, restock equipment, hire new crew mates and more.
- Submarines: The crew's swimming home base will develop throughout the journey. Beginning with a modest sub, players are able to update and modify the hull, different machinery and weaponry as they progress. All available improvements apply to modded ships as well, so the community can seamlessly integrate their own creations into the campaign.
- Crew mates: The heart of the game, the submarine’s crew, is no longer randomised between campaign missions when playing with bots. Every crew mate becomes a valuable part of the mission and can be individually trained, so you should not use them as expendable cannon fodder. The bot AI was also improved.
- In-game economy: Players are able to sell items, prices are balanced and different items are available at different locations in the game.
- Visuals: The developers visually overhauled the majority of sprites in the game and revised the campaign map. 'New Frontiers' marks the next step towards Barotrauma’s full launch and is available for free.
